    The College Grad's Gif Guide To Job Hunting

    Gifs that capture every moment of the post-graduation job hunt, from excitement to frustration, to utter despair.

    It all starts with excitement to see where your degree will lead you next.

    You've successfully submitted 7 applications, and everything seems golden.

    You're basically as excited as you were when the USA Women's Soccer team won the World Cup.

    Then the boredom sets in. What to do while you wait to hear back?

    Which quickly turns into frustration.

    The frustration quickly starts to become desperation.

    You've sent your follow-up, but there's still nothing.

    EMAIL ALERT! But alas, it's a rejection.

    If only wizards were real so you could curse them!

    Mentally exhausted, you send in five more apps.

    Your friends keep asking how it's going, so you smile and say:

    But on the inside you're like...

    And all that confidence post-graduation starts to disappear.

    It's okay, take a second to wallow...

    Okay maybe longer than a second...

    Okay seriously, start pulling yourself together.

    PULL. YOURSELF. TOGETHER!

    Embrace your inner Queen B

    Or your inner Gaga

    And put on your s***kicking shoes.

    You'll get there eventually, kid.
